Design DC Systems at Record Speeds
From first sketch to full topology — prototype, collaborate, and iterate with your team in real-time.
Prototype in Minutes
Sketch complete concepts in minutes by dragging and dropping your components.
Chat Channels
Say goodbye to scattered communication across emails, messages, and meetings. All discussions are stored with your design, creating a complete record of decisions and feedback.
Product Catalog
Find the products you need that fit your design. Search by product type, manufacturer, or specifications.
Annotations
Mark up your single line with logos, equipment photos, groups and notes — keep context next to the topology.
No credit card or download needed.
Validate with Real Physics
Run power flow simulations, validate against IEC and NEC standards, and size your cables — all backed by real engineering models.
Power Flow Simulation
Simulate how your system behaves under different conditions and optimize your design.
Wire Sizing
Let our wire sizing engine suggest or validate your wire sizes according to IEC and NEC standards.
Fault Simulation
Run short-circuit scenarios across your DC system and find the perfect protection devices.
Live Data
Stream real measurements from a commissioned site back into the same diagram you designed.
No credit card or download needed.
Validate with DC Experts
Ask a DC expert directly in your project. Get answers from engineers who've designed, simulated, and commissioned real DC power systems.Questions are always free — we'll provide an estimate before any work begins. Everyone gets started with free credits to explore.
Expert Assistance On Demand
Connect with engineering and product experts directly within your design environment, eliminating the need to switch between applications or schedule separate meetings.
Get specialized help exactly when you need it, whether you're facing a technical challenge, need design validation, or have questions about specific components.
